Special Seating for the Grad

Keep the grad front and center of the celebration with a unique chair at the head of the table. It is a small touch that will make them feel extra special for the day! But it will also help direct guests to the graduate, perfect if you’re hoping to snag some photographs. We have many modern specialty chairs to choose from, like our Ghost Acrylic Arm Chair and Farrah Teal Velvet Chair. Or take a look at our retro-chic Gold Bamboo Arm Cha

Hard to argue with the visuals. 🍹

Glassware tends to get finalized late in the rental process and it's one of the details that guests interact with more than almost anything else at an event. Every person at a cocktail hour is holding a glass for the better part of an hour. That's a long time for a rental decision to either elevate or undercut the rest of the setup.

The best weddings have a thread running through them.

This one carried it from the ceremony rows to the reception table — soft, light, and unhurried. Sage accents in the glassware and napkins, scalloped china that added just enough character 🤍

A charger plate never holds a single bite of food. And yet it might be the most important thing on the table. 🍽️

One charger choice can shift the entire tone of a tablescape before a guest ever sits down. We broke down exactly why — link in bio.

The tables that look simple usually aren't. ✨
Earthen Alabaster China and Santorini Stripe Napkins — the kind of details guests notice once they sit down.

A lounge area isn't just extra seating. It's where the party actually lives. ☀️

Guests need somewhere to land between the dance floor and the dinner table. A well-placed lounge gives them that — and keeps the energy moving instead of stalling. Worth thinking about before the floor plan is finalized.

Cocktail hour gets overlooked in the planning process more than it should. 🥂

The right mix of cocktail tables and barstools shapes how guests move, where they land, and how the whole space feels before dinner even starts. We broke down exactly how to get it right — link in bio.
